Jun 13, 2013 - Oh lord, I'm gonna need a wireless nursing bra.
Well, I'm here because the inevitable happened- I got pregnant before I lost enough weight to get down into a reasonable bra size.
I'm currently wearing a Freya Pollyanna in a 32J which I'm finding comfortable enough, but the center gore doesn't lie flat because it's a little too wide for the space in between my boobs.
I have a 34" ribcage (while exhaling, tend to like my bands on the snug side.)
15" breast (sternum to ribcage as required for this site.)
12" nip to neck.
I would describe my breasts as Full on top, Wide root, Close boobs, Narrow shoulders.
I know these measurements are gonna change probably before the end of my pregnancy, and definitely when my milk comes in. I am hoping to breastfeed.
I have tried the Panache Sofie Soft Cup in a 34 J, and the cups were way too small, ribcage was snug but not tight).
The Bravado Sublime in a 34 J/K (WAY too small in the cup. Fit fine in the ribcage.)
And finally the Royce Sadie Soft Cup in a 36 K, which was just way too small all over, lord that brand runs small.
I am at my wit's end and wondering about ordering from Ewa Michalak (specifically http://www.ewa-michalak.pl/product-eng-278-KM-Biszkopty.html) or getting a custom made bra from a local seamstress who seems confident- but I am worried about cost.
Anyone have any suggestions? Comments? Questions? Halp!

can you remove the wires and convert your polyanna?

Also google showed these wireless bras though I am not familiar with them

Thank you for the ideas! I never would have thought of removing the underwire from an existing bra. I guess I didn't think they would hold up. Perhaps I should try getting crafty
I also hadn't come across that site- I will do some looking into the fit and sizing on Goddess- I'm not familiar with them.
